REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
OS VERSION: 4.4.0.58, 4.4.0.64
HARDWARE: Jolla C, Xperia X, XA2
UI LANGUAGE: German
REGRESSION: No - didn’t work ever?

DESCRIPTION:

When you try to scan a bar- or qr-code with an wep-app, the camera-picture is out of focus and the code cannot be scanned. The camera doesn’t focus the picture.

Some sample Websites:
< Speisekammer App >
< https://schnelltesttest.de >
< https://webqr.com >

PRECONDITIONS:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. go to one of the Websites from above
  2. select “Droid rear camera” when asked
  3. Give permission to the website to access the camera.

EXPECTED RESULT:

The picture with the code should be focused by the camera, so that the web-app can process it

ACTUAL RESULT:

The image remains blurry and the web app cannot read the code.

MODIFICATIONS:

None

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Also “Droid rear camera” is not translated. (UI language is german, the String “droid rear camera” is in english)

webqr.com and speisekammer.app does not show a picture at all for me, although the camera app works. (didnt try any other ones)

Thanks for the report and the additional info. We now have this logged on our internal bug tracker, so I’ve tagged it as “tracked”.
